I HAVE to take the Run Flats off my new Beemer - they are truly shockingly appalling. So this was not an expected cost after pushing the boat out for a new car. Notwithstanding the fact that BMW need a spanking for selling any car that rides so terribly when the potholes get rutted, and that it has NO spare wheel well...can anyone help with a discount code; pretty please? BlackCircles seen to be the best fitted price for Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3's at £150 for 245 40 19's but every little helps!!! Thanks

That was certainly true when I bought my last one 10 years ago - but research indicated RFT's had 'moved on' and were far better. I TOTALLY disagree ! That's probably why our 2 series came with proper Michelin PSS... What sense? Why don't the mags/reviewers tell it like it bloody is - especially on 19"?

Why would u even shop at that stupid website?
Order directly from germans: https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/
or french: https://www.tyres-pneus-online.co.uk/ ( better site than the german one)

arrives in like 2days and the prices are MUCH MUCH better.
Actually they are the best price this time mate by about £40 fitted for 4 and have a mobile fitter so I wont have to lug the old tyres and can also clean behind my wheels as they come off on my drive! smile

Kwikfit are doing the assy 3's for 147 fitted (yes really!)

They often do cashback/vouchers as well. Just google away.
Jeez! Last place on earth I would have looked! I can get 3.7% Cashback too... Now their breakdown is:

Description
4 x Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 at £134.50
Tyre Size 245/40Y19 £538.00
4 x Wheel Balancing at £6.75 £27.00
4 x Standard Valve (Cap & Core if TPMS fitted) at £4.75 £19.00
4 x Environmental Tyre Disposal at £1.50 £6.00
Total £590.00

Now I don't need new valves as car is new and I want to keep the old (but new) concrete tyres!

Wonder if its worth a ring or is this a lot of their margin?

Cheers

No codes, but isnt it common knowledge yet that runflats on wheels larger than 17"'on uk roads is just a big no no ?
But that is the whole of BMW's business model... I just really cant get my head around it. The whole car makes me tense up when I see rutted or bad surfaces looming. Would soon be a trip to the doctor for stress if I don't buy something a bit more compliant wink

I went with Kwik Fit for £542 in the end inc TopCashback £22/05 and having to email them after the job to get the not needed tyre disposal and new valves refunded. Thanks for your help on this upsetting expense guys :-)

HOW much better is the car?! Its still firm but quite acceptable now and copes with less than perfect surfaces far far better. Much more planted rather than skitting around too.

Kwik Fit? Well... Guy who booked me in told the guys that did the job NOTHING we discussed so I ended up being charged for new valve cores and 4 tyre disposals - which I naturally declined to pay (£19 for 4 valve cores - as 'they are better than std as they are nickel plated sir' - rolleyes). Then had to take it back and spend another hour there and get the whole 4 wheels balanced again (with me hovering to make sure) since the whole car shook at 80 after the first time... Hmmmm!

Fair do's to Kwik Fit as they later refunded me the tyre balancing cost too - they just couldn't balance them there - machine clearly on blink so took to Main Dealer and they got it right. Not slamming KF them for this as they dealt with it well indeed..
